enReport from a Crowd Sourcing Event at Woodrow Wilson International Centerhttp://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1692
<p>Last week I attended the workshop “<a href="http://bit.ly/Sxr2Ys">Connecting Grassroots to Government for Disaster

This was my first meeting I have attended that was fully dedicated to the
discussion of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Lea Shanley, director
of the Commons Lab, brought together top-notch panelists (see <a href="http://www.wilsoncenter.org/sites/default/files/GrassrootstoGovernmentAgenda-9.9.12_0.pdf">agenda</a>)
from government, university and industry. A great variety of topics were

information security (e.g. SSL – Secure Sockets Layer), and recommendations to
make crowd sourcing successful. </p><p><a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1692" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1692#commentscommunitydisasteremergencyemergencydisasterows9VGIWed, 19 Sep 2012 14:38:18 +0000Luis Bermudez1692 at http://www.opengeospatial.org
